 I took this picture in Eureka Springs, Arkansas because I wanted to show it to my fiance's grandfather in hopes of him being able to identify it, or at least explain what it's for. Not much more detail than that, I thought maybe it would make a good submission for the farming category.

I suspect you know, but what you have a picture of is a horse-drawn side cutter. It was used to cut hay prior to using a side-rake and then bailing. It could also be used just to cut weeds. I rode with my grand-father on one many times.

Great subject matter- probably worth some $ these days!
Nice composition.

Then I have to ask, what's it still doing there? What's with country folk not being able to throw things away? lol. jk. cool subject, i like how it has the stuff growing around it. It might have been more powerful if you zoomed in on a section with more interesting lines and form.

Nice subject, but it's as if the picture is abit too busy(?) the object doesnt really stand out from the background

Nice shadows on the tractor but this composition seems to be missing the element of life.

Nice adherence to the theme, but the image is a bit overexposed.

Background very distracting.

Your idea here is good. It's not a WOW shot and along with the flat color will hurt your score. Maybe a shot of the seat alone with color boost>?< Just a suggestion.

The lighting seems to be a little harsh here. The leaves, which are the same color as the subject, makes for a busy background that competes for attention. Perhaps getting closer to your subject and narrowing your DOF, you would get a better shot. ...Or even perhaps raking the leaves away would help as well. 5 Good luck in the challenge.
